[sustran] photos needed!

[Tamim Raad]

Dear listmembers,

The SUSTRAN Resource Centre is currently putting together an "action guide"
that highlights major themes in sustainable transport, progressive
policies, and tools for advocating for those policies.

The guide will be distributed to the network and public.

We are in the final stages of completing the guide and NEED PHOTOS to make
it look splashy and increase its effects. We need the following types of
photos:

1) auto/motor vehicle related environmental impacts: (anything you can
think of through the entire motor vehicle life cycle from tire fires, oil
spills, to roadkill, to smog, to mining for metals, loss of land/habitat etc.)
2) social impacts (anything that demonstrates inequity and social
dysfunction: people having difficult crossing roads, women/elderly/children
accessibility, road rage)
3) health impacts (someone with a mouth cover/gas mask, hospital
admissions, accidents (no gore))
4) something that demonstrates application of better policies (anything
from traffic calming, to road pricing, to better public transport)
5) pictures of people taking action (group meetings with obvious products,
displays, tangible things that groups lobbied for and won (i.e., an
improved foot/bike path), anything that demonstrates an effective campaign)

We will, of course, provide photo credits, but are unable to offer money as
our budget is meagre. It is better if they are ASIA and DEVELOPING
NATIONS-related photos, as these are more relevant and harder to come by.
We are particularly short Asian examples of 1-3 above,   particularly for
the lower-income cities.

I know many of you might have a very large bank of pictures upon which to
draw and cannot reasonably list everything you have. However, what I would
like to do initially is simply to identify the people who could help, and
which areas your photos cover. Then I can send a follow-up email to you
individually with more specific requests. 

Please reply to my address, not the list: raad at interchange.ubc.ca

Thanks,

Tamim.
